The Hinterer Schwärze ( Italian Cima Nera ) is the fourth highest peak in the Ötztal Alps at 3624 meters . It lies in the Schnalskamm exactly on the state border between the Austrian state of Tyrol and the Italian province of South Tyrol . The rear blackness is partially glaciated and sends out pronounced ridges to the north, east and south-west. Due to their height and geographic dominance , a view from the summit is theoretically only limited by the curvature of the earth .
Location and surroundings
The blackness is about 10 kilometers as the crow flies south of Vent in the Ötztal and 8 kilometers north of Karthaus in Schnalstal . Adjacent peaks are in the north, separated by the Hintere-Schwärzen-Joch (3390 m), the Mutmalspitze at 3528 meters, in the east, separated by the Roßbergjoch (3400 m) along the main ridge, the 3443 meter high Pfasserspitze . In the southwest along the main ridge is the eastern Marzellspitze at 3550 meters. The rear blackness is almost completely surrounded by glaciers. In the northeast lies the Schalfferner , in the south the Roßbergferner, which is strongly dwindling due to global warming, and in the northwest the Marzellferner . The slopes sloping down to the South Tyrolean side are part of the Texel Group Nature Park .
First ascents
The mountain was first climbed on September 10, 1867 by Ernst Pfeiffer from Vienna with mountain guides Benedict Klotz and Josef Scheiber . From Vent you went south through the Niedertal , over the Marzellferner and reached the summit via the brittle southwest ridge after nine hours of walking. In 1868 Franz Senn and Cyprian Granbichler climbed the Schwärze over the Schalfferner and the east ridge . Today's normal route (slightest ascent) was first committed on September 30, 1870 by the Viennese doctor Moritz von Statzer and the mountain guides Alois Ennemoser and Gabriel Spechtenhauser . In 1877 Heinrich Heß and Ludwig Purtscheller first climbed the north ridge .
Base and normal route
The Hinterer Schwärze can only be reached via glaciers, some of which are rich in crevasses, as an alpine high tour with appropriate equipment and experience. The Martin-Busch-Hütte at an altitude of 2501 meters serves as the starting point for an ascent . The normal route, the easiest ascent, to the summit leads first in a southerly direction over the Marzellferner to the eastern Marzelljoch (3535 m), then left northeast over the summit ridge. Duration of the tour, according to literature, about 4½ hours.
